No Choice at Yale
by Suzanne Hadley on 09/21/2006 at 11:34 AM

Motte's story makes a good point about the pro-abortion agenda infiltrating both public and private life. According to AgapePress, Planned Parenthood of Connecticut has established an abortion rotation at the Yale School of Medicine. The course requires second-year ob-gyn residents to complete a total of eight weeks of rotations at Planned Parenthood clinics. While students may opt out of actually performing abortions, Dr. Gene Rudd, associate executive director of Christian Medical & Dental Associations, says they face extreme pressure for doing so.

"There's pressure from the program directors that you will participate in this," explains Rudd. "In fact, you're very likely to get blackballed before you even get accepted into a program unless you're willing to participate."

Dr. Rudd suspects Planned Parenthood created the course as a means to recruit future abortion doctors. Smart, really, when you consider that college students are still in the late stages of moral development. Perhaps Planned Parenthood hopes by getting students in the door while their medical ethics are still malleable, the organization can succeed in producing a generation of conscience-free abortionists. Unfortunately, those students with already-established ethics — of a pro-life nature — will face discrimination.
